Steven Gerrard will make a one-off playing return for Liverpool.
The legendary Anfield captain has been confirmed as part of Jurgen Klopp’s squad for the club’s end-of-season friendly in Australia next month.
He recently caught the eye for a Reds’ legend side that took on their Real Madrid counterparts in a 4-3 thriller which saw him score the winning goal at Anfield.
Gerrard’s former team mates Jamie Carragher, Steve McManaman and Daniel Agger are also set to feature in the game with Sydney FC on May 24.
Three of the quartet only recently hung up their boots within the past four years while McManaman regularly features on the former players’ circuit.
The merging four of Liverpool’s former players with its current squad for the match at the ANZ Stadium is a unique concept inspired by its 125th anniversary.
A season-long celebrations of the historic event will officially kick off on June 3.
“It will be an honour to pull on the Red shirt and play football with an outstanding squad and former team mates,” said Gerrard.
“This is what Liverpool is all about, celebrating the family that has been around for 125 years.
“Our fans in Australia always give us a warm welcome so it’ll be a great feeling to see the ANZ Stadium turn red on 24th May.”
